Name: Chan-Hyung Baek Age: 23 Sex: Male Profession: Mind-Maintenance Location: Open Thought HQ Affiliations: Open Thought Disposition: Dissociative identity
Character Background and Description Chan-Hyung grew up just outside Seoul without much motivation in life. Transfixed by Brainstorm, he thought it would be cool to work for them, and so he found his first real goal in life. At age twenty-one, he found himself with a basic server maintenance job: sit in a monitor room and troubleshoot errors when the system detects them, call the engineers if the problem is beyond his training. It was simple and easy to remember; perfect for him. And given the on-call nature of his job, was given living space in the company building as part of his salary.
Not too long into his job, he was assigned the task of cleanup duty. There are always more computer servers, but the actual brains Open Thought relies on for their products are in limited supply. When people die, their brain-server space can be freed for other use. However, death confirmation is an important step to take before wiping space. Because of this, there is no automated system in place to do so, for fear of wiping minds of real people. So, Chan-Hyung Baek receives the death confirmation, logs into the corresponding space with the admin up-link, and wipes what he finds.
Always ready to partake in simple pleasures, and with more than enough time on his hands, Chan-Hyung began exploring these partition before wiping them, finding more than a few embarrassing, shocking, and just plain funny thoughts and memories. Against company policy, he began siphoning these thoughts for later viewing. Eventually, realizing the potential for internet stardom, he began posting these fragments on Entwine under the anonymous account FamousLastWords. Brainstorm's PR department is furious with this account's existence, given the rumors of how the content of these posts were not lawfully obtained, but so far they have not caught Chan-Hyung.
